Savoury cucumber muffins

Those muffins taste really fresh and light thanks to the cucumber and mint. I didn’t know I could use cucumber in other ways than just in salads or no bake dishes until I found this recipe in a Dutch magazine.

Directions

First, cut the cucumber in small cubes, put some salt on it, and try to remove as much excess water from the cucumber as you can with a paper towel. It was a mess because the cucumber cubes sticked to the paper towel. I ended up using more than half of the cucumber to compensate.

Mix the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper, milk, olive oil, eggs together. In the magazine, they say you should let the batter rest for 30 minutes in the fridge before adding the mint, feta cheese and cucumber but I didn’t have that time so I mixed everything right away.
